Animal Mitochondrial DNA Replication
(2016-01-01)
Recent advances in the field of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication highlight the diversity of both the mechanisms utilized and the structural and functional organization of the proteins at mtDNA replication fork, despite ...
Stimulation of Variant Forms of the Mitochondrial DNA Helicase Twinkle by the Mitochondrial Single-Stranded DNA-Binding Protein
(2021-01-01)
Defects in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance may lead to disturbances in mitochondrial homeostasis and energy production in eukaryotic cells, causing diseases. During mtDNA replication, the mitochondrial single-stranded ...
The role of mitochondrial DNA damage in the citotoxicity of reactive oxygen species
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2011)
Mitochondria contain their own genome, a small circular molecule of around 16.5 kbases. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes for only 13 polypeptides, but its integrity is essential for mitochondrial function, as all 13 ...
Mitochondrial genotype modulates mtDNA copy number and organismal phenotype in Drosophila
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-05-01)
We evaluated the role of natural mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation on mtDNA copy number, biochemical features and life history traits in Drosophila cybrid strains. We demonstrate the effects of both coding region and ...
Mitochondrial genome sequence of the Brazilian luminescent click beetle Pyrophorus divergens (Coleoptera: Elateridae): Mitochondrial genes utility to investigate the evolutionary history of Coleoptera and its bioluminescence
(2007-12-15)
The Coleoptera order is the richest group among Metazoa, but its phylogenetics remains incompletely understood. Among Coleoptera, bioluminescence is found within the Elateroidea, but the evolution of this character remains ...

Palaeoproteomics resolves sloth relationships.
(Springer, 2019)
The living tree sloths Choloepus and Bradypus are the only remaining members of Folivora, a major xenarthran radiation that occupied a wide range of habitats in many parts of the western hemisphere during the Cenozoic, ...
Mitochondrial DNA 30-SNP data confirm high prevalence of African lineages in the population of Espirito Santo, Brazil
(2015-12-01)
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis is usually a last resort in routine forensic DNA casework especially when nuclear DNA analysis cannot be applied. Because of the Brazilian population is highly admixed it is necessary to ...
Nuclear mitochondrial-like sequences in ants: Evidence from Atta cephalotes (Formicidae: Attini)
(2007-12-01)
Nuclear mitochondrial-like sequences (numts) are copies of mitochondrial DNA that have migrated to the genomic DNA. We present the first characterization of numts in ants, these numts being homologues to a mitochondrial ...
